Well today has turned out to be rather interesting, however with that being said, a little alarming as well. Seems the ice on the river snuck up on every one and the ferry could not run today at all. So those that were on the mainland that needed to get back to the island and visa versa, are out of luck.
This is not an unexpected turn of events, but usually we know ahead of time as to when, least a general idea at any rate. So as it stands now, I am trapped on the island with no way off, what food I have is all I will have till either the ferry can run again or the ice freezes enough to walk across. The normal feeling of isolation has increased by 10 fold, nearing the brink of panic. I can feel it, just on the edge of my thoughts waiting and trying to creep in and take a hold. Sooner or later it will succeed and then it will get real interesting.
In trying to keep myself from going down that road, I am watching Gladiator again. And the though arises that man is the only animal on this planet that hunts and kills man for sport and entertainment. While it is not like back in the days of old, i.e. roman times, it is still the same. Only slightly different.
Case in point hockey, while there is skill in the game, a lot of people don’t watch it because it is a sport to be enjoyed but because of the fights that usually always happens in the rink at some time or another. Then there is boxing, football, the list goes on and on. But it does not stop there, so preoccupied we are with it, it is in every day business.
By that I mean, out do the competition and drive them out of business (kill) or buy them out, in the name of the all mighty dollar. It is this basic fact I believe we find out selves, world wide I think, in this economic crisis. And as what some believe by 2012 it will all come to a head and then the real game will be afoot, the kid gloves comes off and countries will be killing for the other resources. This is another source of panic for me I am afraid.
I guess what troubles me the most, while man ‘seems’ to have the most intelligence, we still can’t seem to come to an agreement with our own neighbors, countries,ect and last but not least the planet. Slowly bit by bit we are killing it, and sooner or later it will decide enough is enough, and it will be our turn to go the way as many other species we have caused to go extinct. Probably some thing else that may or may not happen in 2012.
The sad fact of the matter is, we are not smart enough to say “hey we all need to work together and take care of business.” We have a whole galaxy to explore and populate, which is the only means I believe that mankind as we know it will ever survive in the future. There are a few that believe that is what we need to do, but the governments as a whole do not, or should I say ‘the corporations’ can not.
Now I suffer from a number of ailments, bipolar, pts, depression, personality disorder, mood disorder and god only knows what else. But I really have to wonder some times who exactly has mental issues, if you know what I mean.
But those are just thoughts, a few of the many that whirl through my head on a constant basis. Almost madding at times, other times well, that is what the medications are for.
At any rate, I haven’t thought about the ferry and the ice and being trapped in the sharing of these thoughts. Shrugs either way it’s not good.
Very honoured to see your blog, I benefited a lot here, and it brings me a great deal of enjoyment.
I sincerely hope your blog continually up to date. I hope you can write more post better in the future
Thanks for post and i think i will learn something more here.
